Gota may still be a US citizen

Gotabaya Rajapaksa enters the Sugathadasa Stadium as his name is announced as the SLPP candidate on 11 Aug/SLPP handout

Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna presidential candidate Gotabaya
Rajapaksa’s name does not appear on the latest list of United States citizens
who have renounced their citizenship, although the former Secretary to the Ministry
of Defense has said he has done so.

This raises questions whether he is still an US citizen.

The quarterly list is published by the US Federal government after the Internal Revenue Service files the list of those who have renounced US citizenship called “those who have chosen to expatriate.”
